#1 Exercise to Unlock Your Glutes [Strong By Design Ep 19]

"Squats and deadlifts are quad and hamstring dominant exercises. I'm not saying that they don't hit the glutes. They’re just not the best exercises for the glutes." -Brian Klepacki

In this episode, Founder of Critical Bench, Mike Westerdal interviews the Creator of Unlock Your Glutes, Coach Brian Klepacki, MS, CSCS, FMS2. If you want bigger, stronger and rounder glutes, you’ll want to tune in to this episode.

Your glutes are your body's most powerful muscle, yet they're also the most misunderstood.

As the engine for almost every lower body and back movement you make, they deliver raw strength and power… but only when properly activated.

It’s like you're sitting behind the wheel of a muscle car. You have all that raw power and strength lying dormant ready for you to unleash... but you don't know how to get past 30.

When you discover the right way to unlock your glutes, everything changes. You can put the pedal to the metal on your gains.

And you know when you've trained your glutes the right way, as you’re the proud owner of a strong, round, healthy butt.

I’ll explain in a moment how you’ve been misinformed about the right way to build strong glutes…but if you’re still stuck on squats and lunges to develop your butt, you need to stop NOW.

The "Squat Myth" has, for too long, left millions of men and women frustrated at their lack of progress, struggling to grow their behind.

And it gets worse. Not knowing how to train properly has left you with a problem - weak glutes. Ignore those who say a strong, rounded butt is pure vanity. It's a sign of strength and good health.

You’ll NEVER Get A Great Butt With Weak Glutes!

Weak glutes are often the "hidden" factor in most injuries, including poor posture, lower back pain, knee pain, hamstring strains, muscle imbalances and lower body injury.

Ever suffered a long-term injury that simply won’t go away no matter how much you treat the area of pain? It could be a cause of weak glutes.

A saggy or non-existent butt can be embarrassing. But when you’re denied a strong, round butt it’s a reminder every time you catch yourself in the mirror that your efforts are producing zero effects, leaving you frustrated and angry.

When your glutes lose strength, it affects your whole body. Other muscles are forced to compensate, causing imbalances and severe health consequences.

Your Glutes Are Literally The Powerhouse Of Your Body!

Everything flows from this area. Whether you’re walking, running, climbing, jumping, stepping, sitting or even just standing without moving, your glutes are involved. The stronger your glutes, the more efficient your movement.

Strengthen your glutes, and you will run faster, you will jump higher, you will throw harder.

Squat, lunges and deadlift programs won’t give you the powerful backside you want. The #1 Exercise to Develop a Rounder, Stronger Butt is… The Hip Thrust

The Hip Thrust can be performed at home or at the gym.

In this position (anatomically speaking now), you are in the best position possible to achieve the highest level of muscle contraction since the muscles are shortest [1], and with consistent tension placed on the hips throughout.

A recent 2017 study in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research proves this glute movement really is ideal for protecting the spine and knees from unwanted strain commonly associated with squats and lunges, developing strength and power at short muscle lengths [2], and maximizing muscular hypertrophy of the glutes.
